Ok to start, you need WinXIP not WinZIP or WinRAR, this is the program used to edit the .xip files that UIX and the m$ dash uses.
Start by FTP'ing over your \user.interface.x.dash\xips\default.xip over from your xbox.
Next run the program winXIP, then go File -> Open
Open up defaut.xip
You will get a bunch of config.xap, default.xap, dvd.xap, etc...
The 1 we are looking for is default.xap
Click on it and go edit -> extract
Extract it to the desktop then open default.xap with notepad, yes notepad...
Now you will see a bunch of code. Dont touch any of it, unless i tell you to.
Ok now go Ctrl + F or find. Type this in:
CODE
DEF theBackground Background
Hit enter and you will see somthing like this:
CODE
DEF theBackground Background
{
skyColor 0 0 0
//backdrop ImageTexture { url "xboxlogo.xbx" }
}
{
skyColor 0 0 0
//backdrop ImageTexture { url "xboxlogo.xbx" }
}
Now change that so it looks like this:
CODE
DEF theBackground Background
{
skyColor 0 0 0
backdrop ImageTexture { url "background.xbx" }
}
{
skyColor 0 0 0
backdrop ImageTexture { url "background.xbx" }
}
Save, and open up default.xip again, go edit -> insert.
When it asks for an overwrite, go YES.
Then save, and ftp it back to the \user.interface.x.dash\xips\
It will ask for an overwrite, check the file size, it should be just smaller than the original
Now reboot UIX and your done

Are you sure you followed the tutorial correctly.
You may have changed somthing the dash style to modded or to stock. Post us some screenies of what has happened.

it (being
DEF theBackground Background
{
skyColor 0 0 0
//backdrop ImageTexture { url "xboxlogo.xbx" }
})
back
in.......
as in nothing will be displayed in the background if the xap isnt edited.

As you can see the orb has changed, but the background remains black.

installed a fresh copy and loaded it up...
zipped across to pc default.xip and the green skin, changed the line to look like this:
CODE
/*gas
DEF theBackground Background
{
skyColor 0 0 0
//backdrop ImageTexture { url "xboxlogo.xbx" }
}*/
DEF theBackground Background
{
skyColor 0 0 0
backdrop ImageTexture { url "backgound.xbx" }
}
converted an image to xbx called it "background.xbx" stuck it in the green skin and ftp'd it all back. didnt delete the cache just restarted dash.
worked perfectly.
gunna have to go with merde^^ on this one

Make sure that the FTP went as planned. If the changes haven't worked FTP the .xip from the xbox back over to the PC and check to see if the changes are there. If they aren't try the ftp again. If they are Delete the Udata folder and cold reboot. If there still isn't a background image then it could only be the skin is missing background.xbx
